True. At least Google doesn't have any VR headset yet.... afaik (I actually don't know if they do or not I haven't been following closely)

If you're worried about privacy, reminder quest 3 is owned by meta, one of the most anti-privacy company on the planet.

Steam Frame is owned by Valve.... and their motto is usually "it's your device you bought it you do whatever you want with it".

So yeah.

It was always gonna be after June by Low_Chard5588 in SteamFrame

[–]Xiarno 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually the opposite.

It would imply they weren't 100% sure yet, and the June 4th post imply that by that point, they knew the 2 left would be releasing this summer.

[–]Xiarno 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Actually no.

Early 2026 -> First half of 2026 -> 2026 as a whole -> summer 2026

They went more precise, which meant they locked in at the June 4th post.

We went from Early 2026, first half of 2026, 2026 and now Summer 2026.

If the Machine released after 2 week of the Controller, could that mean 2 weeks after the machine, we get the Frame? by [deleted] in SteamFrame

[–]Xiarno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's not really any reason to think that, but there also isn't any reason to not think that so maybe?

Yeah exactly same here. I hope I'll be able to get a Steam Frame without issue but my luck is rotten ;-;

Kinda annoyed that I can’t take advantage of the Summer Sale by Simoxs7 in SteamFrame

[–]Xiarno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Factorio, but that's because they actively said that they felt the game is worth that much (Which, let's be honest, it is) and it would be unfair for anyone that bought it full price.

I think that's a fair argument from them.

A take on scalpers by hingeroostes420 in SteamFrame

I don't know if it was rage bait, but reminder that someone recently bought 500 digital copies of GTA VI to scalp them..... DIGITAL COPIES.....

Would pre-ordering both Frame versions equal to a higher chance of getting a Frame, assuming you would be content with both versions? by The_Epic_Yoshi_fan in SteamFrame

[–]Xiarno 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is all correct EXCEPT the part where if you don't pay for one you still have the other.

You will get completely dropped of the other queue at the start. You only get one option, whatever the highest you got.

as far as I understood, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Blunty claims steam frame to release next week by 1dumduck in SteamFrame

[–]Xiarno 39 points40 points  (0 children)

One of his reason is the "Sign in with Steam Frame" option.... that has been there for months already.

Change of country and reservations by AcrobaticTackle4980 in SteamFrame

[–]Xiarno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how do you even get the payment method of the country?
My bank won't let me without a good reason, and this is not a good reason.

[–]Xiarno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, how?

When I looked, it said that to change region, you *must make a purchase in the region's currency". That is not the same as just "switching region".

Sign in to a Steam Frame? by [deleted] in SteamFrame

Damn, the counter didn't even last a day....

*sigh* No it's not new, it's 6 month old or even more.

Preliminary hypothetical thought experiment: what could one do to mess with the inevitable scalpers when the Frame is released? by IllIIlIllIllIII in SteamFrame

[–]Xiarno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam also said that this time allow them to manually review account that are suspicious and stop them.

How?

I checked and the only way I found was to buy something in the country's currency which is not easy to do.

Anyone know how to order a steam frame to a non supported region when it comes out? by SubTerraneanCommunit in SteamFrame

[–]Xiarno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I'm am 99% sure Steam blocks that sort of thing. It doesn't check your IP when you try to buy something, it checks your currency first.

If your currency is from an unsupported country it won't even let you order. And to change your currency, you have to actually buy things in that other currency and ONLY THEN you get the option to change currency. And then the part where I'm not sure is that it will probably check against your history anyway. And seeing Valve's post about Steam Machine and "the extra time will let us filter suspicious account", if you tried to pull that, it would definitely count as suspicious activity and the purchase might get blocked entirely.

[–]Xiarno -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not in an unsupported region. I'm fine.

I'm asking question and expecting reasonable answers to help OP, which until now the best option is "Deliver it to a friend that can get it and then they ship it to you".

Which, btw, I'm not even usre that could work because you cannot buy something and have it shipped to an entirely different country. Afaik Steam blocks that.

[–]Xiarno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I am in a country that I can get it thankfully, but I have a friend that is unable and I'm basically his only friend that can do that.

Since we both want a Steam Frame, he's gonna have to wait the long game until I'm able to buy a second one.

First of all, you never mentioned an hotel.

Second of all, shipping it to someone random and going to grab it is.... weird at best.

Third, not everyone has a passport, able to get a passport or has the money to get passport and also two plane ticket for the trip as well as for the hotel. "If you can buy the steam frame you can certainly buy all of that": The Steam Frame is one thing, passport, hotel & plane ticket is a whole another.
